About LocalNomads

http://www.Localnomads.com

After graduating from college in New York, My partner and I decided to take off on a crazy adventure. We got jobs, had a yard sale, and moved to South Korea for a year of teaching English. After a year of trying new food, learning new customs, and developing relationships with hundreds of students, we decided to come home and explore our own country.

Since then, we’ve called several places home. We’ve lived in Oregon’s wine-rich Willamette Valley, a gold mining town in SE Alaska, and the magnificent Rocky Mountains.

Rather than simply vacationing to all the places we’d love to see, we’ve taken the opportunity to dig in and really experience the culture of each new community.

After a long summer of outdoor growing, cannabis farmers have a large amount of product that needs to be trimmed and manicured before it can be sold. Most farmers hire trim crews to get the job done quickly and efficiently. This is the story of our highly irresponsible adventure in … [Read more...]
